Sorry, I should have chosen better words. I meant compatable as in you mentioned that kernel was good for if I was only browsing the web, so I'm pretty confident in assuming that its not what I want for things like MicroCap (wine), ktechlab, geda, spice, etc. Unless I am indeed incorrect, then by all means PLEASE! Let me know!

Great info! Thanks! Although I might end up skipping the kernel, as I'm going to use this for electronic simulation, etc. And it sounds like that's not very compatable. That's why I was concerned about the heat initially. But I will look around, thank for all the help!

@ King_of_spirals

Forgot to ask, which Kernal would that be? eventually I want to go back to arch...someday..haha

yeah, I'm aware of the ventilation, however this was happening on my leather couch, no blankets to cover up fan vents, couch is pretty firm; in fact usually its sitting on my lap, the vent is on the side, and i'm very cautious to make sure the vent side is nestled in the gap created (sitting cross-legged.) it is more comforting to know that the heat issue is not abnormal, however the concern that this only started with the arch variations is still there. I might make a disk image and re-install other OS's just to test things...

anyways here's the output I received prom pwmconfig:

# pwmconfig revision 5770 (2009-09-16)
This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm
circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.

We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls.
The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed
after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you
physically verify that the fans have been to full speed
after the program has completed.

/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed

First of all, Hi!
new here, and im sorry for not posting in a forum for new people, but i have to go to bed soon, and trying to save time. That was a waste of it...

I've been playing around with arch like distro's; Started with arch > Archbang which i really liked, but heard crunchbang was archbang for busy people, and that's me. so Now I'm at Crunchbang and I love it too! But ever since i started with Arch, my laptop has been REALLY hot, especially on the underside, but the touchpad is actually uncomfortable at times, and the most I have done is browse the web.

I found another similar post about this problem, and i ran

it looks like thats ok, but someone mentioned the problem was their ATI GPU, i have onboard intel so that fix didnt apply to me.

What can I do? Thanks in advance!
